i go to college across country (live in massachusetts, attend the university of arizona), so i have to do a fair share of flying. i absolutley despise flying, and to make the trip some what less agonizing, i have a little routine. one routine is taking xanax and sleeping for the entire thing (waking up when the plane is already landed and people are getting off rivals the satisfaction produced after getting laid). thogh, when i cant get xanax, i will usually smoke weed for a few hrs prior to my flight, gets shitloads of candy bars/trailmix/whatever sweets i can get, buy tons of music mags or print issues of blastitude off the net, get books that ive already read and dont have to pay too much attention to to understand, and of course, an ipod. there are always records that i seem to listen to on the plane, ones that arent too mellow, because given the circumstances wil be boring, not too extreme, because i duno, whatever ill shut the fuck up i like these records on a plane:
